Obama takes Russia, Syria to task in UN speech

President Barack Obama dinged Russia and declared the extremists in Syria and Iraq a “cancer” in his U.N. General Assembly speech on Wednesday. “Russian aggression in Europe recalls the days when large nations trampled small ones in pursuit of territorial ambition. The brutality of terrorists in Syria and Iraq forces us to look into the heart of darkness,” the president said.
